The Research Proposal Development Officer will function as part of a university-wide research proposal development team to assist School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine (SPHTM) faculty in the preparation and submission of federal grant and contract proposals, including proposals for work to be performed entirely by SPHTM faculty and those in collaboration with other investigators. At the direction of the supervisor, the Research Proposal Development Officer will assist with proposals by faculty outside of the SPHTM as needed. Reporting to the Director of the Office of Research Proposal Development in the Office of Research, the Research Proposal Development Officer serves an important and highly visible role in a demanding, fast-paced and deadline-driven environment.
